2 Cor:2:3-5
"...Bringing down the fortresses and speculation that exalt against God."
These are the thoughts that rise in our minds against the nature of God . It is because we were walking in darkness in our past (Ephesians 2:2 "..in time past ye walked according to the course of this world...") , Enemy has sown some seeds of his nature in our minds. Hence even after getting saved, after our sins are forgiven those seeds trouble us. So our old mind should be renewed into a new mind... a christ like nature.
When enemy comes to us he comes first questioning our status in christ and then shows us circumstances all around and tries to create a doubt (the same way he went to tempt Eve and Jesus). If we are not knowing who we are and circumstances are nothing to do with our position in Christ and all things are working are working together for good to those who love God and to those called by God, We are in danger of falling prey to Enemy.
Ephesins 1:1-3,18-22
Our position in christ :
1. Chosen before the foundation of the world
2.Predestinated unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to God
And we should see:
1. The hope our calling
2. Riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints(in us)
3. The Exceeding Greateness of his power in us who believe
This power is the power of saving us from our sins which even much more greater than the power of creation in which God created all things just through the word of his mouth
Mathew 7:20
"Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:"
If we do these things we will not stumble.
